Photos: Virginia Tech Shootaround and Media Session

Thursday afternoon in Washington D.C.’s Capital One Arena, the Virginia Tech basketball team held a shootaround and practice, then met with the media in the locker room and a press conference session.

The Hokies will tip off tonight against Duke at approximately 9:39 PM on CBS, with the winner advancing to Sunday’s Elite Eight.

  1. As Bob Hope used to sing, “Thanks for the memories”. Special group that gave 100% to their teammates, the University, the alumni, and their coaching staff. Will always remember being in the top 16 seeding for the 2019 tournament, and advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. Who knows- “The Final Four??”.

  2. What a fabulous experience for these guys, getting their moment on the big stage. Happy for all of them, and especially the seniors, whose hard work led the rebuilding of the program.

    Go Hokies, beat the Dookies!
